A place in Manhattan without lots of people? I call fake! Just kidding. Congratulations to both of you for a nice report and to Sputnik for your inaugural expedition. - Danatar (talk) 20:06, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Danatar! But yes, Manhattan goes all the way past 220th St and most people never go above 70th, let alone 200th. :) Also Sputnik has hashed before, in California with LucasBrown, though I don't think she had a wiki-name until now? -- OtherJack (talk) 03:44, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
(Regarding the "By The Way" -addition): Hey guys! Don't be too shy about your Geohashing-hobby IRL! I usually tell everybody I can about this hobby and try to advertise it. Have been able to recruit at least a couple of guys into it (JiK and Bysmyyr). Tilley (talk) 05:23, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hahaha, I have occasionally told people but it never really stuck, despite often some initial interest (e.g. 2pacchacha) so I suppose that's why I don't mention it much. Also, to be clear, we are acquaintances through a much larger group of people, do not know each other that well... though now I'm sure this story will come up the next time I see those folks, so maybe another hasher or two will materialize! -- OtherJack (talk) 09:50, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Just commenting on your hash fire hydrant - found a map of Harlem circa 1900 that shows roads through Inwood Hill and black dots along the roads. Likely to be houses, though they could be hydrants - couldn't tell. --Thomcat (talk) 05:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- Excellent, do you have a link to this map? -- OtherJack (talk) 05:11, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- http://historicalmaps.arcgis.com/usgs/ is your friend. This link should take you to the right area, though it will take a bit to load. Slider on the left side controls how transparent the map from 1900 is. --Thomcat (talk) 15:08, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
